my personality is like a light switch and it is difficult to deal with. The fact that I live in an area with rude, inconsiderate, self-entitled people sets me off. I have frequent episodes with toxic people. I have a husband and daughter who sees the two sides of me:my negative...

This is how my mood goes throughout the day: Irritable. Numb. Okay. Annoyed.Apathetic. Happy.Bitchy. Angry. Depressed. Hyper.Empty.Suicidal. Numb. It's a different pattern everyday, and the moods can last an hour to 30 seconds.

H ey guys, I am a grad student who is trying to create a public campaign to make people understand bipolar syndrome and people who have it better in order to eliminate/fight with the stigma.
I just revised my storyboard and in the stage of needing feedback from who ever...

I have been taking Seroquel. Just started it. It's a mood stabilizer, but I feel like it is doing the opposite. Is that supposed to happen? My psychiatrist has put me on it because of my mood swings, risky behavior, and not being able to sleep at night. It helps you fall asleep...

of my life, I found a lump in my underarm, I was worried but enough to go to the doc, but not that much. Cancer goes in my family, but I mean I'm 21.. I didn't seriously think of it. My sister yelled at me and called me a bunch of things for worrying enough to even go to the doc...

Obviously I'm not going to diagnose myself, I shall maybe see someone if it gets worse. However, I can have certain episodes where I completely shut off, I zone out of nearly all conversations I am in and I just end up feeling genuinely down. This can happen for a few days up to...

I just don't know what's wrong with me. I don't know why, but I just hate myself. I'm like my own worst enemy. All of my life I've been like this. I'm constantly conflicted, or constantly switching between things. I can be happy one second, and pissed off the next. I can be calm...

even I can't keep up with it. And i don't mean about simple things like clothing, or what I want for lunch. I go from wanting to be with my boyfriend forever, to wanting to break up with him and date someone else, all for no reason. We've been together for nearly a year, and I...

I honestly feel like I have bipolar disorder. I have done excessive research on it because my mom suffers from bipolar disorder, but still denies it and refuses to take medication. Throughout the day, I experience a rollercoaster of emotions. The most common one is sadness. I am...

for no reason. Everyone around me walks on eggshells. Some days I really feel like I should be heavily medicated. I try to focus my mind on improving, not letting things get to me. I really just need to train my brain to stay level. Stay positive. Stay loving.

I've always had a really hard time with emotions, I jump quickly, I panic easily, and rarely think before reacting. My mom, 48, recently was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, Her father was bipolar and commited suicide when she was young, My grandmother on my father's side was the...

I may sound a little boring, but I have been depressed for a while.
I'm 21, female and unable to analyze my feelings and state of being right now.
I have extreme mood swings, between the gap of a few hours, when I am most affected by some thoughts. This has been going on for...

I have a lot of emotional issues it seems. I've been clinically diagnosed with ADHD and Paranoid Anxiety. When I was diagnosed, they did not test me for bipolar disorder. (They said I was too young?) I didn't just decide one day that I was bipolar. I have a long history of...

for weeks being on top of the world. I'm so happy, my mind is racing with new ideas, I can't sleep for days and I keep cleaning. But then I crash, I'm depressed, suicidal, I want to die. I'm numb, useless. I can't control my moods I starve myself, cut myself just to make the...

feeling hopeless and crying half of my days away. I have lost both my husbands because they can't stand the sadness but they sure do enjoy the happy me. I'm always there for everyone else, but no one is there for me so I thought I would try reaching out to strangers who might be...

Not being able to explain my problems is what gets me the most. These waves that keep occuring much too often finally took a toll on me. I began to type my symptoms into the google search engine and the first thing that pops up is borderline personality disorder...

I remember all my life I would have periods of hyperactivity, talkativeness, acting out on impulse, doing dumb illegal things, etc. Then I would go through other phases where I would...

I've been on Abilify and Prozac for 3 weeks now, but I'm depressed again. I say again because last week I was up. Flying high, over the moon, etc. At first, three weeks ago, I was so happy to be feeling better after months of depression. I was exercising, happy, motivated, but...

I get days where I feel "normal" and not severely depressed, or days where I am pretty happy, but not crazy with my money or anything like that.
At the end of the "happy" day or even within a few hours, I'll crash and not be happy anymore, instead I'll be very irritable or sad...

I may have it.. the symptoms seemed to be there... living inside me, crawling aching withdrawing. i read about its promiscuity... i am one... but never feeling bad about it because sex to me is just a need... like feeling hunger, so we need to eat. There is no emotional...

One minute I could be happy and joyful, but the next I'll be in tears sobbing. This has been going on for 2 years straight. I've never thought of seeing someone because didn't think it was a big deal, but my close friends and family are noticing it.

I exhibit the usual "symptoms" I suppose you could call it. At times, sometimes for multiple weeks I feel fantastic! I have plenty of motivation to get things I need to be done finished, I can feel more social and outgoing...
